Wow.
Cassandra Clare has done it again in this fantasy novel that takes the story of Tessa Gray to a whole new level of drama, mystery, and suspense. If there have ever been times when someone has questioned C.C. on whether she could continue to produce such marvelous writing, they have been proven wrong.
I am going to assume you read the description about this book, so I am not going to explain what it is about. If you have not read this book, look away! It's spoiler time!
- [Spoiler] I cannot believe Jem proposed, guys! In Clockwork Angel, where some of the characters seemed recycled, the change in the love triangle brought a whole new notch of drama. I felt something for every single one of the characters in this book, which C.C. has done a good job of, so when will told Tessa he loved her, I almost dropped the book. That was INTENSE. [Exit Spoiler]
- Will's secret! We finally get to know what it is, and it made me so sad for him. [Spoiler] But then it ended up not being an actual curse, which makes more sense now that I think about it (the fact that Jem is dying doesn't mean he still loves Will, and he should therefore be dead if the curse were real). But I'm happy for him now.
- The climax was a little early, if you asked me. It happened, what, 2-3 chapters before the end? I was expecting a little more, but there was a lot of falling action. It kept going on. And on. And on. But I'm only half-complaining. The rest of the book was great. I wasn't expecting Tessa and Nate to NOT be siblings (what book does that sound like, hmm? City of Class, perhaps?) or for Nate to die.
- I was not expecting Jessamine to be a http://www.goodreads.com/traitor, but it erased all connections of Isabel and Jessamine out of my mind. [Exit Spoiler]
There are a lot of other things I could talk and talk about, but my hand is cramping up. Overall, this book, in my opinion, was amazing and better than Clockwork Angel in almost all perspectives, except maybe action (the book lacked quite a bit of it). *****
